After baraatis threw notes from moving cars in Noida, baraat went wrong; seven were arrested and fined Rs 4 lakh

For all the apparent reasons, Indian weddings have been known as “big fat weddings” throughout time. Every event, from the sangeet to the reception, is often celebrated with style. A few attendees at a wedding went all out during the baraat, doing something similar. On the evening of November 26, many SUVs from Delhi were part of the wedding procession that was making its way to Greater Noida. However, as per reports, the procession was halted at Gaur Chowk due to “traffic violations” and “rash driving,” which transformed the whole affair into a nightmare. At the scene, the police allegedly confiscated five SUVs and booked seven baraaties. Twelve more cars were hit with challans totaling around Rs 4 lakh after correct identification.

Subsequently, the police disclosed that they had received several complaints on the issue from commuters. Following a CCTV inspection, they discovered that the baraat patrons were hurling money, honking loudly, and almost obstructing traffic. According to the accounts, the groom’s car was not engaged in any traffic infringement, therefore the police also let it to pass through. The same video went viral on social media, drawing harsh condemnation from users.

The user “Avinash KS” posted a video of the aftermath on the social networking platform X, which was previously known as Twitter. “Guests who had traveled from Shaheen Bagh, Delhi, for a wedding in Greater Noida were tossing change from passing cars and honking their horns along the route,” the post’s description said. Rs 3.94 lakh is the challan for 14 cars. Five cars were taken into custody. It showed individuals picking up the money that the baraaties had thrown on the street.

While others criticized the individuals responsible for carrying off such a crime, the majority of people questioned Uttar Pradesh’s and Delhi’s laws and order. While some remembered potential mishaps resulting from the episode, others insisted on taking appropriate action.

Many offered their opinions in the comment area. One commenter questioned, “Why does this culture of throwing money even exist?” Another user questioned, “Why are people picking up the money that has been thrown like that?”
